Dennis,
In your PL/SQL program, did you try the RTRIM(date_field,' ') command?
I know that TRIM is new, but I thought it needed additional parameters to
tell it what to trim.

Barbara,
I can't speak for dbms_utility but dbms_stats is supposed to generate
statistics at both the partition level and at the table level for
partitioned tables, which analyze does not do. These are supposed to be
better quality statistics. Be aware that there are bugs related to
dbms_sta
Is there an advantage to either of these over "roll your own" (select
'analyze table ' || table_name|| 'compute statistics')?
(Besides ease of use.)
Since I already have the scripts in place that run the analyze statmement,
I'm wondering if it's worth the effort to change the jobs to use
dbm
Rick,
You can purchase what you want from the USPS for something like $300. I have
never seen it free.

Is the field in question in table C defined as CHAR or VARCHAR2? If CHAR
that is why it is blank padded. Check datatype of variables
in pl/sql

Sounds like in the table the field c.marketcode is a char(3) instead of
varchar2(3).

Russ,
You have my sympathies. I've been managing SAP databases for the last 7
years, and the last time I let SAPDBA control a reorg was 6.95 years ago.
It performs some tasks reasonably well, like datafile additions and managing
CBO statistics refreshes (especially since SAP wants certain tables
Sure, please send it

Rick - I think Barbara is right, to get the info in bulk you'll probably
have to pay. A few years ago a friend of mine got a diskette from the U.S.
Post Office that was intended to get bulk mailers to use 9-digit zip codes.
Might be worth a check.
